Seamlessly monitor microservices with streamlined DevOps capabilities

Most benefit from it, however, I work with Kubernetes, and installing Vanilla Kubernetes is easy. That said, it introduces many tools that need to be set up individually. OpenShift comes ready out of the box, with all tools installed and configured. Red Hat certifies and confirms that all the components are compatible with each other. OpenShift's superior dashboard is a notable strength, especially when compared to Kubernetes. The integrated DevOps capabilities, such as pipelines and the container registry, are extremely beneficial. Additionally, its capability to monitor microservices and containers with integrated tools like Prometheus is a major advantage. The horizontal pod scaling exceeds the scalability features I found in Kubernetes.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup

It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."

"The company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."

"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."

"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."

"I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure."

"The concept of containers and scaling on demand is a feature I appreciate the most about Red Hat OpenShift."

"In terms of implementation, OpenShift is very user-friendly, which is an advantage. We are using it along with GitLab for implementing CI/CD pipelines. That's a feature that other products also have, but in OpenShift, we find it good."

"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."

More Red Hat OpenShift pros

"The control is valuable. It's really easy to use and you have good control of your solutions."

"The advanced level of production-ready Docker hosting, one-click application deployment, and the truly flexible pricing."

"The solution is scalable, and that is what we are looking at. There is no learning curve as we have not done much research."

"The dynamic vertical scaling is a unique feature."

"Technical support from Jelastic is very good."

Cons

"Autoscaling is a very unique feature, but it could be useful to have more options based on traffic statistics, for example, via Prometheus. So, there should be more ready solutions to autoscale based on specific applications."

"OpenShift requires a very expensive and complex infrastructure. These demands can deter people from learning OpenShift."

"I had to frequently upgrade my cluster due to OpenShift's rolling updates every six months, which I found to be excessive."

"They could work on the pricing model, making it more flexible and possibly lower."

"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."

"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."

"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."

"The whole area around the hybrid cloud could be improved. I would like to deploy a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on-premise and on the cloud, then have Red Hat do the entire hybrid cloud management."

More Red Hat OpenShift cons

"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."

"Lacks better integration into enterprise storage products."

"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."

"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."

"The backup functionality needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"The product's support is expensive. I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"We had a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) license for all our servers' operating systems. By having multiple Red Hat products together, you can negotiate costs and leverage on having a sort of enterprise license agreement to reduce the overall outlay or TCO."

"The price depends on the type and the nature of the organizations, along with the types of projects that are of considerable range."

"The model of pricing and buying licences is quite rigid. We are in the process of negotiating on demand pricing which will help us take advantage of the cloud as a whole."

"It's important to start small because the solution is scalable. We can build our cluster and look at the bundle option, not the external subscriptions. Talking to the people at Red Hat can save us money."

"The product’s pricing is expensive."

"The licensing cost for OpenShift is expensive when compared to other products. RedHat also charges you additional costs apart from the standard licensing fees."

More Red Hat OpenShift pricing and cost advice

"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."

"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
